After scoring a grand total of one run on 7 hits over the past
two days, the Sox 8-game winning streak--you know, the one that
just ended Friday night--feels like a distant memory.
It's not time to hover over the panic button or summon the
dark clouds, but you have to be a little concerned when Ozzie's
crew fails to show the least bit of adjustment or improvement in
very specific weak areas.
(This won't become another Fire Greg Walker rant. But, um,
yeah, Walker's job immunity and lack of accountability is not
good.)
Once again Angels starter Jered Weaver completely shut down
the White Sox offense Saturday afternoon, allowing only a Jim Thome
infield single, Brian Anderson double and Nick Swisher single (that
was quickly turned into an out on the basepaths) while striking out
six.
Weaver's updated career line against the Sox: 3-0, 0.34 ERA,
25 Ks, 3 BB, 0.71 WHIP, .151 BAA in 26.2 IP.
Essentially, the Sox are now 0-for-the-century against this
guy. (But they do have several foul tips.)
Looking to avoid a sweep, Jose Contreras faces John Lackey
tonight.
